Can I reactivate lockscreen without root?

If possible, how?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] fulgerul:
Bumpzor!

I have disabled stock locksreen while on 5.1.2 and rooted.

After, damn OTA upgraded SW to 5.1.4 and now I have no root.

Any locksreen app installed from GPlay did not work so ... Any chance I can reactivate stock locksreen without having root access?

Thank you in advance.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] cogster:
I successfully rooted my 5.0.0 HD 10 using the methods here, I did have to install some extra drivers to get everything to work and it took around 3-4 tries with KingRoot until it worked.

I used the SuperTool to install Google Play infrastructure, remove ads, and block OTA updates.

Google Play does not work to get more apps--

I have Google Play Framework V4.4.4-1227136

Google Play Services 6.6.03 (1681564-036)

Google Play Store 5.9.12

I get the error: Error retrieving information from server [RH-01] when I try to load Google Play.

Any advice on how to fix this? Could anyone with a functional Play infrastructure share what version they are using for these?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] fulgerul:

Ok so I have ran the kingroot about 45 times and still no root...Any ideas?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] fulgerul:
What os are you on, 5.1.2? If higher, you will need to perform a downgrade.

Else, try using King root on pc and alternatively opening it from tablet.

Worked for me after 6 or 7 tries.

Did you update to version 86? I tired the 84 version and the 86 version and it reboots, but never installs.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] gg528:
I used flashfire-0.24.apk to flash xposed. I also have XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk installed. I have not upgraded to v86.

I am only using XblastTools_1.8.8.apk. Other mudules I tried didn't work well. Not everything in Xblast works either.

Hope this helps

Running 5th gen fire hd 8inch with 5.3.1.0

running latest kingroot on pc and the app (both say the firmware is 5.1.1. i dont know why)

ran it several times after GApps had been installed since late july, no root.

reboot doesn't clear the status of the app, KR just says cannot root.

what i HAVE been doing to reset the process is uninstalling and reinstalling kingroot apk, is this burning me somehow?

I'm admittedly getting frustrated with the device, so am thinking in my frustration i may be missing an obvious step, or not looking in the correct place for the answer as to why i am not having any sucess with this...

i've lurked for years, finally reaching out, thanks in advance

Any way to downgrade to a different firmware that is rootable, since everyone else seems to be having success with 6.1.2 and so on?

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

I don't know where I got my wires crossed in thinking 5.3.1 was rootable, absorption of the information on this new tablet has been spotty on my part, just moved cross country and what not...

Nicely enough I did I factory reset and the product has been very responsive, now I'm just a little beat up that I paid$150 For the product at the end of July, and the 6th gen is selling new with more memory for $90. Booooo...

Kingroot didn't work yet. I ran it several times .it gets to 18%, then says "please wait for the update patiently" with ab big circle in the middle and a moon and star rotating around "1 People" Does anyone know how long i should "wait patiently" or another option? Also i checked my google frame work & the version is the same as the one listed. My kindle is 6th generation fire hd 8.

Also in the video when i get to the step at 3.10 when i select the driver and click OK i get the message "The folder you have specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems". Also my fire is under "portable devices" not "other devices" .

Should have stayed on 5.3.2 to be able to downgrade to 5.3.1.1!! I've been in your situation before, I know how annoying it is.

Noob Question

Dear Everyone,

Purchased my Fire HD 8 a few days ago and attempted root on 5.3.1.1. KingoRoot says it was successful. When I attempt to run ADB Shell, I have been doing so through the command line. However, when I attempt to select the Kingo.To.SuperSU file, it says the location on my Fire is incorrect.

I'm thinking I'm not running ADB Shell correctly: does it need to be run from your computer's cmd? If so, do I need to do anything to "identify" my Kindle to it, or should that be handled automatically? I had previously rooted my old Android RokR E8, so rooting isn't new to me. Using the ADB with this, however, is. I have (KingoRoot) rooted, turned off, attempted ADB, restarted, unrooted, (wash, rinse, repeat) this about 5 times now with the same results. I had temporarily turned on WiFi in order to install ES File Manager, but turned it off before 5.3.2 could download. Would resetting to factory at this point be advisable? If someone could walk me through the ADB installation and run process, I would be appreciative. I have downloaded and installed Android Studio on my computer, but that is the only item, besides KingoRoot, that I have installed. My device still says 5.3.1.1.

I would appreciate any help you can provide. :good:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Fodoom:
Hey OP, if you want to update this guide a little bit for the Kindle Fire HD8 (6th Gen) KFHD8-6G users: I followed the instructions you've made but used KingoRoot instead of KingRoot.

Once I rebooted it stuck in the boot screen for quite a while so I unplugged the USB cable and did a hard reset. When I pressed the power button it started the boot screen again and showed this message underneath the Fire logo: "Optimizing system storage and applications. This will take approximately 10 minutes to complete."

And then boom! Back to the FireOS home screen. Plugged the USB cable back in and fired up cmd.exe to find that su is available.

Also could you please note somewhere that the pm command is case sensitive? The section for disabling OTA lists the command with a capital P and people who are copy/pasting the commands may have issues.

Edit: Also, your rootjunky link is busted. I was able to find the correct zip file here: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Amazon Fire 5th gen

Thank you, OP.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

First ensure that ADB debugging is enabled on your device. Follow the instructions in the OP to get the right ADB drivers and ADB binaries (adb.exe and such) installed.

1. Open cmd.exe

2. run this: adb devices (watch your device screen - you might get a popup to confirm your computer's RSA key, select yes there.)

3. Make sure the output from this command has a bunch of random characters with "device" at the end

4. run this: adb shell

This will get you into your device shell. Just type "su" to gain root access. I don't have the knowledge at this time to offer you any assistance in getting your device back to the desired version but I have read here that 5.3.2 is potentially downgradeable. Hope this helps in some way.

Hi.. I won this tablet yesterday at my company's family day.. will rooting work on the current fire hd8 7th gen Im on 5.4.0.0? if not.. is it possible to downgrade to a version where i could root?

thanks in advance ✌
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] cybero2912:
unfortunately 2 times no
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DragonFire1024:
Any tablet running any OS 5.3.2.1 or above, CANNOT be rooted. You can downgrade from 5.4 to 5.3.2.1 though, but without root it serves no purpose. You can however 'uninstall' Amazon apps and system apps by following instructions in this thread.

Be advised: if you plan on replacing an Amazon app with a different 3rd party app, please install the 3rd party app before you uninstall ANY Amazon or System apps. Also note uninstalling Fire Launcher, Retail Demo, and some of the oobbe and whisper apps WILL disable your home button. We are working on a fix, however it's unlikely to be soon.

camera

correct it is not free, the beta, if you can find it will work for a while.

The big change I would like to see is a better night shot feature, I had a wizard and with Cool Camera, you could select night and it acted like a night vision camera, it worked real well in low light.

I know the camera is able to do the function, it's just the programming that needs to be reworked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TurboX2:
yeah the camera can definatly be able to do that, but it just needs a program that will be able to do the cropping and expanding without killing the processor when taking a video and zooming.

thats why i liked nokias so much.. u could pritty much make an entire home movie on a nokia, and it will look professional.

the graduated zoom on them is amazing,...

I am new to the world of android development since I have learned what rooting is, how it can be used, and the potential to help others is unlimited in the world of development. I am looking to start a career in the world of development, and Android development has me extremely interested in what I can possibly do with such a useful and necessary skill set. I know basically nothing at all, but I can read fairly well and follow basic instructions within a set of guidelines. I am sure most of the developers that post in xda forums are busy with actual careers and lives of their own, but if anyone is willing to teach me what I should know to become a developer, I would be extremely appreciative. I am looking to learn the basics of how android works, how devices communicate, how apps are made and interpreted by the operating systems that use them, and much more. Anything is helpful, even if someone can teach me which questions I should actually be asking. Needless to say that this is kind of embarrassing to be asking, but someone Please teach me if your time permits. Everyone has been extremely helpful and understanding. Help me work next to some great minds so I can hopefully reach the same level myself. Thanks to everyone reading this.

[One (M8) General] JunkTardis:
Okay. For 2 weeks I have had this issue. I tried EVERY fix I could find. I clicked Selfie Camera in Snapchat one night and bam, the option was forever gone. I rolled back to Stock Android, tried various roms to no avail. The fix I found, was more simple than I thought.

I had a wave of inspiration. What if, the ribbon cable connected to the daughter board had jigged loose somehow? So I carefully dismantled my One M8. (If you havent done this before, you may have piles of tape to remove inside). The top 2 ribbon cables were, to my surprise out of the plugs by about 1-2 mm's. So I disconnected them, applied some rubbing alcohol to clean the connections, and re-positioned them back in the plugs. Powered back on my phone, and wow. Suddenly my front camera was back! My NFC was back to being reliable, and better yet my audio issues in calls was also fixed.

Previous to the selfie mode issue, I had issues with NFC switching on or off at random, and the mic during calls was mute. I have included a picture to point out which cables to check (Once you peel off the silver tape).

I have seen NO other successful fixes to this, even HTC just seems to state it's irreparable and just issue a refurbed replacement. This has confirmed worked for me.
